"Returning to China next week" has long become a well-known terrier on the Internet to ridicule Jia Yueting, but although the LeTV mobile phone business has disappeared, faraday Future Automobile Company founded by Jia Yueting is still struggling to support. Recently, Faraday Future announced that it has started the construction of the Hanford plant in California, which will ensure that the FF91 can be delivered on time in July next year.
Faraday Future has been around for 7 years, but so far not a single car has been delivered. And in the past few years, Faraday has continued to be in a series of situations such as high-level shocks, control disputes, and financial constraints. The outside world is inevitably full of various distrusts of Faraday.
In early 2017, Faraday unveiled its first production car, the FF91, for the first time at CES, and promised delivery in 2018. The model was so popular at the time that it received 64,124 pre-orders in 36 hours.
Of course, we all know the rest of the matter, and the collapse of the LeTV Empire naturally affected the faraday future, which belonged to the same vein. The co-founders left one after another, and there were large-scale layoffs in the future, and the factory construction plan was repeatedly delayed.
However, in recent years, Faraday has listed on the NASDAQ and reached a cooperation with Geely Group, which seems to have a glimmer of vitality.
In fact, for ordinary consumers, everyone is not particularly concerned about the struggle and change within the enterprise. If Faraday really wants to achieve a contrarian trend in the future, the most important thing is to rely on product statements. First of all, PPT's many years of FF91 must really be delivered in July next year, otherwise Faraday's future credibility will sink to the bottom and may never be able to turn over. Secondly, the parameters and performance promised by the official before can really meet the standards, at least in the market to be competitive, otherwise it is difficult to compete with giants such as Tesla.
The future market for new energy vehicles is still extremely broad, and the new domestic car-making forces Xiaopeng, Ideal, and Weilai have all achieved quite good results. As the forerunner of new energy vehicles, Tesla has become popular in the market with its brand and technical advantages, and has pushed Musk to the throne of the world's richest man in one fell swoop.
After completing his personal bankruptcy, Jia Yueting's equity connection with Faraday Future has been very weak. But as the founder of the company, if Faraday can succeed in the future, it can also greatly unload the burden that Jia Yueting carries, and at that time, he may really be able to return to China next week.
